The following scans are some of my favorites from the review of Evers paintings and illustrations in the book “The Marine Paintings of Carl G. Evers”.

A final note: Evers contributed many paintings to the US Navy. Several fine examples are included on this blog. The Navy even has a 'Carl G Evers' room on board the 'U.S.S. Alabama', a battleship museum permanently docked in Mobile, Alabama.
